#9: The Numbers Don't Lie


Listen Later

In this episode, I'm taking a hard look at the data available on the status of women in the legal profession in the United States. Statistics don't have to be boring because they tell stories - and these numbers say a lot. Has there been any progress made over the past decade for women in law and, if so, how much and in what areas? I give my thoughts on where we can go from here, both collectively and individually, and what I think are the leading issues facing us today.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:

  • What is the '50/15/15' conundrum?
  • The "challenge" issued by the National Association of Women Lawyers in 2006 to address promotion issues in the profession
  • How law firms may be creating roles for women that are actually allowing us to go backward
  • Why I believe participation in the Challenge decreased recently
  • Women are paid less in other industries, but what does the data say for law firms?
  • Proof that unconscious bias is happening when women don't have a seat at the table
  • At the current rate of progress, here's when we'll meet the objectives of the Challenge
  • How women of color have it worse in law firms today
  • And, where we go from here
